GIACOMETTI SCULPTURE SETS AUCTION RECORD

The Alberto Giacometti bronze sculpture "L'homme qui marche I" ("Walking Man I") sold last week for $104,327,006. It is the most expensive artwork ever sold at auction. It auctioned February 3 at Sotheby's in London. Why should the average collector care? Because it's an indication that art is a good investment even in tough economic times. Other reports about recent shows and auctions suggest that collectors are starting to buy again, but they want the best.
